Question

If the median of the score distribution on this pop quiz is more than 170, the teacher will drop the next pop quiz. The pop quiz scores followed this distribution: {180, 175, 163, 186, 153, 194, 198, 183, 187, 174, 177, 196, 162, 185, 174, 195, 164, 152, 144, 138, 125, 110}.

What is the median of the distribution?

Answer 1

Put the scores in ascending order.

Next, take the middle element, if you have an odd number of data points, or the average of the 2 middle elements, if you have an even number of data points. That is your median.

Answer 2

You can also put the scores in descending order and get the same result, if that's easier.
